Analysis: Reasons Behind the Moves

• Easing Geopolitical and Trade Tensions: Sentiment was significantly lifted after US President Donald Trump rolled back tariff threats against European nations following a framework deal on Greenland. His optimistic comments regarding a potential "great" trade deal between the US and India provided a strong tailwind for domestic equities.
• Positive Domestic Outlook: The RBI's January bulletin projected a healthy GDP growth of 7.4% for FY26, reinforcing confidence in the Indian economy's resilience despite persistent selling by Foreign Portfolio Investors (FPIs).
• Sectoral Rotation: Buying was broad-based but led specifically by the Pharma, Metal, and PSU Bank sectors. Conversely, the Realty and Consumer Durables sectors faced headwinds, leading to the decline in stocks like Titan and Eternal.
• Global Relief Rally: Indian markets tracked a strong overnight rally in the US, where the S&P 500 recorded its best one-day performance in two months, coupled with positive cues from Davos discussions that helped alleviate immediate geopolitical worries.
